Seafoam color meaning
Seafoam is a balanced and versatile green — a cool color at 75% lightness and 66% saturation. Like other greens, it is linked with nature, growth and balance. It is the color the eye finds most restful, which is why it signals health, freshness and "go".
Because it is balanced and versatile, seafoam works best for brand colors, illustration, furnishings and accents. As text on white it would be too faint (1.4:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (14.6:1).
